OK. I'm tired of Ustream popping up full screen ads on my NestCam so I am testing Blue Iris to show my NextCam at mms://chris.homedns.org:8082
I may be changing software or dinking with settings over the next week, but you won't see any ads. (You may see a "Trial version" watermark until I pay for something.

Martin Colony History: Attracted my first pair in 2006.
I now have 5 gourd racks, offer 66 Gourds, and average 50 pair a year.

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing. I just copied and pasted your web address and it worked. There are other camera sites that I tried but they would not come through. Yours went right through. I have added it to my favorites.
Thank you again,
Connie

Martin Colony History: 1 gourd rack with 24 gourd capacity. 2018, my 11th year hosting martins.
18 pair in 2017.

I also use Ustream when streaming live. Do you have your own server or do you have another host provider.

While viewers might not like the ads, the 100's of dollars a month to stream ad free makes it impossible for the little guy.

I'm not a big fan of the ads either, but Ustream does provide a service that is free to the broadcaster and I'm thankful for that.

I do live in a university town so I guess I could talk to them if I plan to be a serious player. Otherwise I'll need the deep pockets of Gazebo Phil :lol:

I didn't mind the small ads at the bottom of the video, or anywhere else on the page. I have an old desktop pc that sits under the desk and just has my NestCam using Webcam Monitor.Yawcam is a pretty decent FREE alternative but it doesn't have sound.

I’m really enjoying this NestCam.
